Petulla are the Albanian version of fried dough. They can be eaten with powdered sugar or honey but also with salty flavors like feta cheese.
Combine lukewarm water, yeast, sugar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile whisk the eggs in a small bowl for a few seconds.
In a large bowl add in flour and salt. Stir in yeast water and whisked eggs. Mix all together until the flour is completely incorporated and you have a sticky batter. Don't knead the dough, it is not necessary.
Loosely cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep fryer pan over medium heat.
With a large spoon, scoop one spoon at the time of batter into the oil. When you get a scoop of the batter it should not droop of the spoon as easily. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Keep adding oil if needed.
Remove the fried dough and place them in a paper towel.
